Hi there, feline fam, it's time to get a little purrsonal with y'all. Each of our cats has a unique story of all of the choices that led them to us (or us to them), and we're sure that each of you have some ameowzing stories from each of your cute kitties as well. We found one of our cats behind a dumpster on our way out from a movie theater, and she ended up being our soul cat. But, it's not about how unique the story is, it's about the purrfectly wholesome relationship that is born because of it.

We have a purrticularly special story for you today - involving one daredevil kitty who climbed onto a neighbor's roof and couldn't get down. Luckily, her soon-to-be hooman coaxed her down, started feeding her, saved her from a cat fight, and through all of those things they learned to trust each other and build their bond. Now, she's their little angel, and we can't imagine anything more wholesome than that. Scroll down to read the full feline story below!

    First picture is her on the roof across the street before I adopted her. She then started to hang out on the front porch, knowing my neighbor and I would leave out food and water. She slowly became more comfortable, making the front porch her hang out spot. I would

    was taken into the vet to treat her injuries, and luckily pushed through. From then on she's been my little angel, always there to comfort me. I am extremely grateful she put her trust in me and allowed me to take her in. Hazel is such a sweet and gentle kitty and deserves all of the love.

    Wool_Lace_Knit Hazel is a miracle in a cat suit. She has gone from perching on a roof to perching in your window. I am so glad she came to you when she was injured. She trusted you to take care of her. CDS is my favorite sub to read when I need a boost.

    Deiser You can always tell when a cat has settled down in a house when they start acting incredibly dorky like in picture 7.

  • We love catching our cats in their derpy moments. With one of our cats it's quite easy, they are at derp level 90000 99% of the time we are around them. The other is a purrfect princess, always looking regal and fluffy. But, the meowments when she does get derpy…those are the memories we cherish.

    truly_beyond_belief Yay for Hazel! Thank you for welcoming her into the world of scritches, pets, warm blankets, and hooman-provided dinners. (I particularly like the fifth photo, with her standing on her back legs to look out the window.
